Informative and Entertaining Porsche 911 book:
This book contains most all the information needed to be a well-informed early 911 buyer, owner and collector.

A Good Read....:
Having just treated myself to a Classic Porsche 911, I saw this book reviewed in a magazine, and bought it straight away!
I have to say, I enjoyed the book, and it's one you can dip in and out of, as well as a good read!
Written in bright & breezy American fashion,it also goes into great detail year by year!It should appeal to those considering a purchase, or current owners wishing to swot up on the Marque!
